Hushabye in the Moonlight

[Intro] Hush now, little moon, close your sleepy eyes Shadows hum a whisper where the dust motes lie [Verse 1] The clock ticks softly in a room of sighs Footsteps drift like feathers from the ceiling skies A candle winks at you with a grin so sly Dreams tiptoe closer where the quiet secrets hide [Pre-Chorus] If you hear a creak that sounds like a sigh Count to three and listen to the lullaby [Chorus] Hushabye, little sleep, listen to the night Tangled in the silence, stars are catching light Safe inside the shadow where the gentle fears reside Drift with the softened hush until the morning wide [Verse 2] The door pretends it isn’t there, then softly sighs A pencil squeaks a secret in a rhyme that lies Eyes in the wallpaper blink with kindly, eerie gleams Guardians of the quiet keep your tender dreams [Pre-Chorus] If you hear a rustle that sounds like rain Close your eyes and drift again, in peace remain [Chorus] Hushabye, little sleep, listen to the night Tangled in the silence, stars are catching light Safe inside the shadow where the gentle fears reside Drift with the softened hush until the morning wide [Bridge] A lullaby wind threads through the curtain seam Whispering promises in a silver beam Not all that yawns in darkness is unkind or dire Some mysteries spark softly, like a quiet fire [Chorus] Hushabye, little sleep, listen to the night Tangled in the silence, stars are catching light Safe inside the shadow where the gentle fears reside Drift with the softened hush until the morning wide [Outro] Goodnight, tiny traveler, the guardians keep near Dreams whisper a promise that dawn will soon appear
